file analysis logs monitoring

What is Log File Analysis?

A cornerstone of network and application observability, log files are data repositories created by operating systems, applications, servers, networks or other devices. These files record operational activities and usage patterns, providing a comprehensive view of system behavior. Log file analysis, therefore, is the automated process of gleaning relevant information from these files, turning raw data into actionable insights.

ServicePilot Log file analysis provides a versatile and proactive monitoring foundation for log data analytics. This package is designed to filter lines from log files monitored by a ServicePilot Agent, leveraging regular expressions or extraction lists to retrieve key indicators. By tracking these indicators, IT teams can monitor an additional data layer to detect issues before they escalate.

The Log File Analysis package by ServicePilot is adept at transforming log file data into meaningful insights and presenting them in an intuitive format. ServicePilot software features such as Machine Learning or advanced alerting empower IT teams to proactively manage and optimize their systems and IT services.

How to monitor with Log File Analysis?

ServicePilot makes it very easy to monitor log files requiring only the installation of a ServicePilot Agent on the host where the log files are stored. Then use the ServicePilot web interface to add a resource from the ServicePilot log-file-analysis package.

To extract indicators to be tracked and monitored, a regular expression or extraction list is specified that can then extract details from the filtered and reported log lines.

How to install a file-analysis resource?

1. Use your ServicePilot OnPremise installation or a SaaS account.
2. Add a new file-analysis resource via the web interface (/prmviews or /prmresources) or via API (/prmpackages page), the default ServicePilot agent or another agent will be provisioned automatically.

Details of the file-analysis package are located in the /prmpackages page of the software.
